[Every week, sister site GamerBytes' editor Ryan Langley passes along the top console digital download news tidbits from the past 7 days, including brand new game announcements and scoops through the world of Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and WiiWare.]
We missed last week's Best Of GamerBytes, so this week, you get double the info in just one update, and this week is a doozy for Xbox 360 owners.
Peggle finally makes its way to the platform, complete with brand new multiplayer modes. Alongside it is Square Enix's Final Fantasy-based Tower Defense-style game Crystal Defenders. The Maw also gets its second downloadable level pack for 100MSP.
But Watchmen: The End Is Nigh also came out last week for the XBLA and PlayStation Network. For $20USD, you can fight it out as Rorschach or Nite Owl in this hefty beat-em-up.
Finally, Wii owners can now buy Gradius Rebirth, a classic retooling of the Gradius games for digital download. Here are the full highlights for the last two weeks:
